More Bust than Buster

For the most part, I really enjoy Rocky Mountain Soap Co. products! Their soaps and bath bombs have unique and pleasing fragrances that are not harsh on sensitive skin. Plus, their staff are extremely knowledgeable and are always happy to discuss self care and find a product best suited for the customer.

But this Breakout Buster...

The concept is great. It's a quick and easy skin care applicator that you can carry in your pocket and apply anytime throughout the day. It looks and feels like chapstick, but it also contains Tee Tree essential oils to fight bacteria and inflammation. It applies clear on the skin and does not have to be washed off until the end of the day.

Everything is great except for the execution.

The sales associate recommended that I apply it four times a day, but she personally only applies it once in the morning and once at night for good results. I experimented with both practices and found little to no change in my skin. I watched my acne spots throughout the day and there is no difference in the redness or size of the spots.

A couple positives is that this spot treatment does not trigger any bad skin reactions. The oils are gentle and the scent is very subtle, just like all of Rocky Mountain's products. Furthermore, I notice that the Breakout Buster definitely hydrates the spots where it is applied, but my oily skin did not really need extra moisture. Perhaps I would recommend this product for someone with try skin and acne, but that's only if.
